Cozumel is the ideal place to practice the sport of scuba diving... Back in the early 60s, the famed oceanographer, Jacque Cousteau "discovered" or rather informed the world of, what is now known as the second largest barrier reef system in the world. The Great Mayan Reef as it is now called, starts at the tip of the Yucatan Peninsular just north of Cancun and extends into the Honduras basin in the south Caribbean sea, hugging the coastline of the Mexican State of Q. Roo and the east coast of the country of Belize. Off the south west side of the island of Cozumel is the largest concentration of this reef system thus offering scuba divers at least forty different diving sites..Cozumel is world known for it’s crystal clear waters, easy "drift" diving and wonderful underwater life...Also here you will find a large free form pool for all ages to enjoy. High privacy walls surround the grounds. All three cottages have a complete kitchenette and private bathroom. Located in the original quadrant of the town, ideal location to walk to the town plaza or waterfront. Personal service from inn owners who have lived on the island since 1976 make this a perfect hideaway for your next sun or dive vacation.
